“I am proud of our INVISTA Orange team,” said Jay Johnson, site manager. “It takes discipline and integrity from every one of our employees to reach milestones of this caliber. This achievement recognizes their daily commitment to operate our site in a safe and protective manner for our employees, contractors and the community.”

In addition, the site received three safety awards from American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) for safety excellence in 2015.

AFPM presented the following safety awards to INVISTA’s Orange site during this year’s AFPM National Occupational and Process Safety Conference in San Antonio:

The Meritorious Safety Performance Award, for achieving an employee total recordable incident rate of 0.6 or less for the calendar year.

The Award for Safety Achievement (Years), for reaching one or more years without a DART case.

INVISTA’s sites in Victoria, Texas, and Wilmington, North Carolina, were also recognized by AFPM for their safety performance with both receiving the Meritorious Safety Performance Award and the Award for Safety Achievement (Years). The Victoria site also received the Award for Safety Achievement (Employee Hours).

INVISTA’s Orange site produces nylon intermediate chemicals that are used to manufacture nylon fiber found in such consumer brands as STAINMASTER® residential carpet, ANTRON® commercial carpet, CORDURA® fabrics for military apparel and soft-sided luggage, and bulk nylon fiber for safety airbags.
